Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Unfair Trading Practices: Discussion

Ms Christine Tacon:

Yes, definitely. I think it is highly likely that it would require another Competition and Markets Authority investigation to determine whether there was market failure and whether it was something in which we ought to get involved.

They would be looking at it and making sure the consumer is not being disadvantaged. That is the crux of it. Competition authorities would want the free market.
